Description

Describe Your Suggestion

These files are typically from the steam workshop from places like Garry's Mod or Source Filmmaker. They can technically be unpacked using 7zip, and further extracted with other tools if necessary.

I think this uses the PK header for files that come from Source Filmmaker. I don't know what Garry's Mod uses for its legacy.bin, which also needs further extraction using gmad.exe, crowbar, or this program.
